Fostering Unity in Our Diverse & Interconnected World
At A Home for Humanity, we believe that interconnectedness is more than a concept — it’s a way of life. When we recognize that every aspect of life is intertwined with every other, we unlock a deeper understanding of what it means to be human, feel a greater sense of belonging wherever we live, and embrace a purpose to give back to the global community we are all part of.
A Way of Life Rooted in Interconnectedness
This way of life is grounded in the understanding that we are not isolated beings, acting independently in a world of separate entities. Instead, we are interconnected, relying on countless relationships with people, animals, and ecosystems. As the African philosophy Ubuntu expresses it, “I am because you are.” Desmond Tutu echoes this beautifully:
“You cannot be human on your own. You become human through relationship.”
This truth is not only seen in Ubuntu but also resonates across cultures, from the Maya to the Hawaiians, emphasizing that interconnectedness transcends time and place.
Responsibility in Interconnectedness
Recognizing our interconnectedness also highlights a profound responsibility toward ourselves, others, and the world around us. Our relationships aren’t limited to other human beings but extend to all living things, embracing life as a whole. We hold a responsibility toward others because we are involved in their lives, and they in ours, creating a web of mutual impact.
At A Home for Humanity, we envision a world where people live in harmony, honoring the interconnectedness that binds us all.
Building a Home for Humanity
Together, we can create a home for humanity, a space where everyone belongs — regardless of origins, beliefs, or languages — because we all share the same humanity.
